apache-php-fpm

Ansible Role: Apache PHP-FPM

An Ansible Role that configures Apache for PHP-FPM usage on RHEL/CentOS and Debian/Ubuntu.

Requirements

This role is dependent upon geerlingguy.apache, and also requires you have PHP running with PHP-FPM somewhere on the server or elsewhere (I usually configure PHP with the geerlingguy.php role).

When configuring your Apache virtual hosts, you can add the following line to any vhost definition to enable passthrough to PHP-FPM:

# If using a TCP port:
ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ "fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/var/www/example"

# If using a Unix socket:
ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ "unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/var/www/example"

For a full usage example with the geerlingguy.apache role, see the Example Playbook later in this README.

RedHat 6 and 7

RedHat/CentOS 7 automatically installs and enables mod_proxy_fcgi by default.

RedHat/CentOS 6 installs Apache 2.2, and is much harder to get configured with FastCGI, but here are two guides in case you need to support this use case:

Role Variables

None.

Dependencies

None.
